Their parents have been great about signing their log, and I have the majority of my students and their parents engaged in the process and eager to proceed with it every evening. \r\n\r\nAt first when my students received their binders they were apprehensive, but many of them were thrilled and excited to take it home and start using it. Parents were happy to have an idea on how to assist their student all in one place, and to track their child's progress themselves each night. Parent involvement has improved leaps and bounds with their homework binders in the little bit of time we've had them already! \r\n\r\nMy next step with their binders is keeping them updated on each trimester skills, adding and differentiating tasks that fit each individuals students needs, and using them in the classroom for early finisher work. They also have it ready to reference back to should they need it, which helps in the classroom. \r\n\r\nI'm so grateful for this donation, and excited to see my students continue to liftoff thanks to your generous contribution. From my class and their families to you, it has been appreciated and made the world of difference so far.","fullyFundedDate":1758832359046,"projectUrl":"project/busy-kids-homework-binders/9529917/","projectTitle":"Busy Kids Homework Binders","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Towe","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10109561"},{"teacherId":9211272,"projectId":8940644,"letterContent":"Students were SO excited to learn all types of board games!

They were all so excited to take a wrapped present home for their family and share a new game.\r\nWe were very intentional with giving kids games we knew they liked from the club. after the holiday break, we heard from several families thanking us and telling us how much they enjoyed \"screen-free\" time as a family. \r\nThank you for being a part of this!!","fullyFundedDate":1735654949452,"projectUrl":"project/game-club-family-time/8940644/","projectTitle":"Game Club Family Time","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Nat Radcliffe","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9211272"},{"teacherId":8316499,"projectId":8701536,"letterContent":"The following are direct quotes from my students:\r\n\"We used them everyday to clean our desks\"\r\n\"We have kept our classroom really nice and clean\"\r\n\"It helps us clean up our sticky messes\"\r\n\"We were very excited to see our supplies\"\r\n\"We were so shocked to see how much awesome stuff we got\"\r\n\"Ms. Glover I didn't know we were so gross\"\r\n\"Why would someone be so nice to give us this stuff? \"\r\nThis has been a game changer for my classroom!

My students are really excited to use the library room every day. They ask me to use the small coach to read peacefully and comfortable. In fact, they must take turns to do it.\r\n\r\nAbout the organizer/storage, it really helped me to divide the worksheets by subjects. I use each drawer for each theme or subject: one for math, one for science, social studies and other for Language Arts. I hanged a chart with the name of each subject so my students can find the materials easier. \r\n\r\nAlso, we love having supplies like colorful markers, tape, glue and silicone gun to do our science projects.

You provided many classroom items that have made our classroom more organized. My students love their mailboxes. This makes my life so much easier. Instead of calling each student to get their graded work, I can just put their graded work in their mailboxes, and they can get them at the end of the day. Instead of passing out flyers and trying to remember who I gave one to, I can put them in their mailboxes to make sure that everyone gets one. You also provided us with tray organizers. This helps me keep graded and ungraded work separated and organized. It also provides a place for me to store important files. Also, my students love their pencil top erasers. We have been learning that making mistakes is part of growing, and they have been using them like crazy. You also provided us with laminating sheets. This has allowed me to create locker tags and name tags for my students as well as laminate papers that we reuse. You also provided us with a weighted lap pad. This is really helpful for students who get overwhelmed or overstimulated. They know that they can go to the calm down corner anytime to use it when needed. There were many other things that you provided. You have really impacted me and my students, and I am so thankful for your generosity.","fullyFundedDate":1733518211796,"projectUrl":"project/mrs-c-teacher-and-student-supplies/8791404/","projectTitle":"Mrs. C.
